[Last night she had been completely exhausted. Her rest hadn't become fitful until it was almost morning. But tonight when she laid down the nightmares were almost instantly upon her.
She was at the SAZ again. The gun was in her hand. But this time the faces in the crowd were people she recognized. Kaoru. Hikaru. Akito. Orihime. And others. She could feel the smile tug at her lips even as she was screaming not to do it on the inside, but her scream changed nothing as she pulled the trigger again and again and again. Her sights were set on Suzaku as she jerked awake, breathing hard and fisting her bedsheets tightly. Her head pounded from the sudden movement and her heart was beating furiously in her chest.
She just sat there frozen in place and alone for a minute and then two. Five. Eight...
It was late, but she didn't want to be alone. Maybe... Maybe Lelouch would still be up?
She slipped from her bed still in her pajamas and quietly made her way to Lelouch's door. If she just knocks lightly and he doesn't answer her then she can turn away and she won't have bothered him at all, right?
